| | Palace Brothers There Is No-One What Will Take Care Of You CD Palace Brothers Discography of CDs
Over ramshackle accompaniment that comes off like a bluegrass band on acid, Oldham sings of sin, family, death, drunkenness and incest, among other down-home themes, in a cracked, emotive Appalachian tenor. His fractured portrait of rural America's dark underbelly as heard on THERE IS NO ONE remains one of the most affecting and disturbing visions in the indie-rock/lo-fi canon. If Neil Young had grown up during the Reagan years...
In the course of a few short years in the mid-'90s, singer-songwriter Will Oldham built up an entire mythological universe around his ever-changing Palace concept. The group was alternately known as Palace Brothers, Palace Music, Palace Songs, etc., and featured a constantly shifting cast of characters, but Oldham's singularly twisted country-folk vision remained constant throughout. The band's debut remains one of its strongest albums.
The Palace Brothers includes: Will Oldham (vocals).
Spin (8/93, p.22) - "...Not just stripped-down but damn near gutted. THERE IS NO ONE glows with white-boy campfire soul..."
Q (5/01, pp.133-4) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Uniformly adult alt.country...curiously uplifting in their downbeat approach. The very point where old ways meet new thoughts."
Uncut (5/04, p.89) - "[W]ith bare bones production and his voice like a crooked church spire."
Melody Maker (6/12/93, p.28) - "...The Palace Brothers are sad, probably mad and living in a time and place we can only take their word for. You'll not hear another record like this until they make one....extraordinary..."
NME (Magazine) (6/26/93, p.37) - "...[THERE IS NO-ONE] is music quite unlike anything in the US indie-rock scene--insane, minimal and beautiful..."

| | Will Oldham Guarapero: Lost Blues 2 CD (2000)
There Is No-One What Will Take Care Of You album
$16.15
LOST BLUES was a collection released under the Palace moniker that collected various non-album singles and other rarities. Its successor finds the man behind Palace using his own name for a second grouping of hard-to-find cuts. The tracks span the life of Oldham's Palace ('93 to '98) and include live tracks, BBC sessions, and a number of songs released only on 45s.
Songs such as "Drinking Woman" and "Gezundheit" are textbook examples of Oldham's trademark twisted folk sound, sometimes labeled as "Southern gothic." His sense of humor show as well, though, on a radically retooled cover ...
